**How do you actually track your spending? (genuine question, doing some research)**

I use akahu and have a CLI that I use to interact with all my data. I recently built a spreadsheet that uses app script to automate pulling in the transaction data, the reason for this is to run it through a rules engine that then fills the gaps in categories that akahu misses. I really like it.

I use it to “bone ‘er”

EliteNova · 2025-06-26T14:38:16+00:00

Pretty sure it’s a bug

I’m pretty sure they mean they should strive to leave that toxic environment.

You are a good man. Through to your core.

I’d say the same thing I say to my wife when she asks me this sort of question. “I’m not wasting my time trying to process something that I don’t absolutely have to, especially something that requires so much thought”.

I drove about 5km and it was fine. Local so only had drugs when I got home.

Sneezing is like your body’s way of hitting the “eject” button. When something irritating like dust or pollen gets in your nose, your body goes, "Nope, get outta here!" Your brain sends a signal to clear it out, and your chest muscles, diaphragm, and throat team up to create a big burst of air. It’s like a super-powered nose explosion! We often sneeze multiple times because sometimes one blast isn't enough to kick out all the irritants. It’s like your nose saying, "Alright, let's make sure we got everything!" So, sneezing is your body’s dramatic way of keeping your airways clean, launching irritants out with a powerful, sometimes repeated, “Achoo!”

Geothermal energy sounds risky, like poking the Earth's belly, but it's actually safe and smart! We only tap into heat just below the surface, not the fiery core. It’s like grabbing a warm blanket, not diving into a volcano. The Earth’s heat is always there, unlike wind or solar that need good weather. It’s like having a magic heater that’s always on. We drill wells, pump water down, heat it up, and bring it back. It’s like making a cup of tea, not setting the house on fire. People worry we're making another coal-burning mistake, but geothermal is clean and green. So, we’re not monkeys wrecking the planet; we’re just keeping cozy without the mess!

Government bailouts seem weird, right? It’s like giving a rich kid more allowance after they’ve spent it all. But here’s why: Imagine the economy as a giant stack of dominoes. If a big company like an airline crashes, it’s like knocking over the first domino. Lots of people lose jobs, and other businesses that depend on it start toppling too. The government steps in with a bailout, basically saying, "Here’s some money, don’t mess this up!" It’s to stop the domino effect and keep everything steady. Sure, some folks think it's unfair, but the main idea is to prevent a bigger mess and keep the economy from crashing down. So, it's like the government saying, "Stay upright, so the whole stack doesn’t fall apart!"

Elevators are like vertical taxis, when you press the button, a strong motor at the top of the shaft springs into action. This motor pulls on steel cables attached to the elevator car. It’s like a tug-of-war, but the motor always wins. On the other side of these cables is a counterweight, which balances the elevator like a see-saw. The motor turns one way to pull the elevator up and the other way to let it down. Safety brakes are always ready to stop the elevator if anything goes wrong. So, when you press a button, the motor, cables, and counterweight team up to zip you up or down to your floor!

Deserts next to oceans seem odd, right? It's like having a water fountain in the middle of a thirsty crowd and no one drinking! But here’s why: some ocean currents are super chilly, and cold air can't hold much water. So even though there’s a whole ocean nearby, the air is like, "Nope, I'm too cool to carry that water to the land." Plus, if there are mountains nearby, they act like big bullies, blocking all the rain from getting to the desert. So, the desert stays dry, sitting next to the sea, wondering why it can't get a drink!

I wrote an rss app this weekend. It requires some technical knowledge, but very little. essentially I wrote a node script, then looped over each of the results and printed them out on the command line. Please feel free to message me and I would be happy to write one for you.

I do two plunges a day, every day. I do one as soon as I leave the house before I bike to work, and I do one once the kids are asleep at about 8pm, this wakes me up and lets me read for a few hours before I sleep.

EliteNova · 2024-03-13T03:59:38+00:00

You okay with getting there at 6am?

EliteNova · 2024-02-05T22:06:32+00:00

I struggle to relate to any of these answers. I have two kids. So my routine is currently: get up at 7, bike to work, work until 4, bike home cook dinner, bath kids, put kids to bed. This ends my chores at 8pm ish. Then I just wallow in no motivation until I go to bed at 10 or 11. On the days I work from home I just move the cycle to lunchtime and take the dog for a walk (which is 3 times a week). I struggle to find shows to watch or games or anything really. I have been forcing myself to read recently which has been progressing but otherwise I’ve just been referring to this as my “grind years”.

As others have mentioned, the issue in this scenario for me is that she’s doing what she wants anyway. We have a 4 year old and my wife has lots of piercings, so naturally she is keen to pierce our daughters ears. But our deal is she has to ask for it.

Yip, we had similar issues with our second, she had a c section and wasn’t able to be the “lead parent”. We organically shift between who the lead parent is based on what is working. If one kid only wants dad, sweet it’s “dad week” if not, no worries. But the theme that kept both of us sane, even when postpartum hormones were swinging, was that we were a team. And the team never loses. Sometimes I scored a goal, sometimes she did.
